Let's not waste the time to think about why this weekend went down instead focus on the amazing stuff that happened.
There were a number of big winners at quarterback this week however none was more so in the league than Josh Allen. Beyond the impressive stats, it was far more about the statement Allen said on the weekend more than anything else.
Do not get me wrong, normally I abhor this idea of the term "statement games." One of these buzz-word sports phrases we cook up for the sake of College Football 25 Coins telling stories, but do not really reflect the reality of the athletes playing the game. They don't have any concern about "statements," they operate to win, go on then repeat.
But the glare of Bills vs. Patriots is massive. The game is huge in the regular season and huge in the playoffsincluding an extra wild card. This is a rivalry formed in a furnace and first ignited due to the frustration of the past that saw the Bills having to finish second. A year ago we were talking about the change in power in the division as it moved to Buffalo and then the shift shifted to the other side in 2021 when it became clear New England was far from dead.
For while it seemed that the Bills were headed back to wait for their turn. The Patriots surged along with Mac Jones midseason as the Bills were struggling, and then Buffalo came back, with Mac Jones, while New England regressed. The playoffs were the game a toss-up. The door was shut on the very first day.
Buffalo did not only beat the Patriots the Patriots, they destroyed them -- and it was due to Allen's perfect game. These kinds of games are the reason the Bills believed so strongly in extending Allen's contract the last offseason with a huge contract. If you are able to beat the Patriots at home in the playoffs it's the most definitive sign that things are changing.
The most remarkable thing about Allen's football game is the variety of different weapons he used through the air. Allen completed 21 passes to nine different receivers. This shows an array of passing techniques that have been missed so often this year.
The extended contract provides that DirecTV will be required to pay a significant fee if the season isn't cancelled, and up to 9% more, at College Football 25's discretion should the season be cancelled. In the event of a total payment in the event of a cancelled season 42% of the fee is not refundable and the remainder would be credited to the following season. Op. 27. 71-72; Goodell Direct Test. 11. Therefore, College Football 25 may receive significant more from DirecTV in 2011 if it is able to block the Players as well as if it does not.
Wait, what? In simple terms you can say that the College Football 25 was ready for a lockout when it negotiated its contract with DirecTV in 2008 aware that a shutdown would likely to occur. The language in the contract provided the College Football 25 an insurance policy of some sort, which gave the league the possibility of a continuous stream of money and a buffer to allow the owners to keep the lockout as long as they want to.
Fans should be irate at both the College Football 25 to a premeditated stoppage of work as well as DirecTV for its role in its support for the College Football 25's scheme. DirecTV wanted the College Football 25 and the rights to its RedZone Channel and Sunday Ticket, bending to the will of the league in the talks in 2008. The league leveraged this to create a situation in which an agreement to lockout the channel would be beneficial to the owners.
Seem fair? Sure, but it's not. From a common-sense perspective: Why does any organization ever receive more money if it chooses to shut down operations than not? The fact that the College Football 25 negotiated its TV contracts while knowing it was in charge of a NCAA Football Coins work stoppage -and was able to secure streams of revenues that would keep on and grow in the event of a lockout -- is the most obvious picture that we've seen regarding how the College Football 25 planned for the CBA negotiations. It's not pretty.
